There were 291 passengers and 16 staff members on board Asiana Airlines Flight 214 when it crashed on the runway, landing on its tail, resulting in a large fireball and a charred roof. An investigation into the crash has already begun. NTSB chairman Debbie Hersman said in a press conference early Saturday evening that "it's still too early for us to tell" what happened, but that U.S. officials will work with a team in Washington, D.C, their counterparts in Korea and most likely Boeing in trying to determine the cause.
